Delete a webhook by ID.
AI agents call delete_webhook to permanently remove resources in API-Central — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
The tool permanently removes a webhook resource without the ability to undo the action through a reverse operation. Deletion of webhooks eliminates integrations and automation triggers, potentially disrupting critical notification and event routing infrastructure. This qualifies as Destructive rather than Write because the action cannot be reversed and causes permanent loss of configuration state.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'delete_webhook' and description 'Delete a webhook by ID' explicitly perform irreversible deletion of webhook configurations.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Delete a webhook by ID. It is categorised as a Destructive tool in the API-Central MCP Server, which means it can permanently delete or destroy data. Block by default and require explicit approval.
Register the API-Central MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for delete_webhook: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches API-Central. Nothing to install.
delete_webhook is a Destructive tool with critical risk. Critical-risk tools should be blocked by default and only enabled with explicit human approval.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the delete_webhook rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for delete_webhook. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
delete_webhook is provided by the API-Central MCP server (secure-ssid/centralmcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
